Boodie (our dog) had an odd, hard thingy on her upper shoulder/neck. We thought it was a dead tick, got it off and it wasn't a tick. Ended up with a tiny wound, the hard thing had been dried oozing ick. It seemed to scab over and we thought it would heal, but it didn't. It would ooze and become another hard thingy. We shaved it a little, clean it up and it kept not healing. So off to the Vet.
The doctor thought it might be a foxtail. She was going to put a little lidocaine in there, see if there was a foxtail, flush it out etc. They got Boodie up on the table, the doctor pressed on the area and out popped her microchip! She had somehow reacted to it and it got infected. So she'll get antibiotics for two weeks, but should be just fine.
Here she is contemplating microchips.
